The basis of the film is of a student documenting his life for seven days for coursework. If however it had stuck with that premis and turned out that the student had hoaxed the whole situation for the footage it could have been slightly easier to swallow. Because that's exactly what it looks like. The opening 15/20 minutes is slow and uneventful as your dragged through the introductions of the sorts of characters you avoid at all costs. Not because they're mean or edgy in anyway but because they're just painfully unlikeable. Right up until the first death scene where a slightly disgruntled postman gets slotted with a bottle deodorant. The props look like they were stolen form a discount toy store, the special effects look like they've been added by a drunk six year old child using an etcha-sketch and the delivery of each line of script from all characters is about as engaging as the helium slowly seaping a funfair balloon. The last "we will fight" statement at the very end is just cringe worthy. It's not often you watch an invasion film that makes you actually root for the end of mankind. God awful. Just god awful.

So, you know what to expect just by reading the back of the DVD, it appears to be a re-hash of the usual formula.HOWEVER!For these guys to of pulled off a film such as this with the resources they had is phenomenal. So yes, you do have to cut them some slack and appreciate how they went about making it. Story wise, it ticks along nicely, there are questions which are never fully answered. The actors bring their characters to life and I've seen a hell of a lot worse come out of Hollywood. It's landed on Netflix, so go check it out, don't expect to be wooed, just expect a good, low budget, brit Action/Horror/Sci-fi flick. ENJOY!

I was lucky enough to catch this movie at the Sci Fi London Film Festival 2014, not only was it one of the best movies at the festival it was one of the best movies I saw that year.It is impressive what the Director Drew Casson did on such a limited budget and this film is a credit to all the hard work he and his team put into the project. Though it was limited in budget every penny was stretched to make a glorious and entertaining result.The plot itself is entertaining as is a nice blend of science fiction and Horror.It is a film that is well worth watching and I certainly look forward to a sequel.

So I'll be the first to say that most found footage movies are stinkers. It has become the genre that film makers go to when they don't have a very original idea and want to make a film for a low amount of money. I tend to avoid them but "Hungerford" caught my eye with it's trailer and I am very glad I checked it out.The story starts off like most found footage flicks, we are introduced to our main characters and are given an explanation as to why they are filming everything, in this case it is a class project. I quickly noticed a difference in the characters in this flick as opposed to most films in this genre, they actually seemed like real people. It wasn't your usual group of beautiful people with wooden personalities, this actually felt like a real group of friends and it made me actually care about what happened to them.The action gets going very fast, and once it does the movie does not let up until the credits start rolling. Unlike a lot of other found footage films, a good chunk of this film takes place during the day which means they do not hold back on showing you everything that is going on. There are not a lot of camera cutaways or shaky running when things get going, you get a front seat view to all the bloody action. The effects were actually pretty well done considering the movies budget.The film does have its flaws as well. There were some moments where the dialogue was very cheesy and felt unrealistic. Plus I felt like the last 1/4th of the movie felt a little rushed.Overall though this was a pretty fun movie. It never dragged or felt dull and it didn't feel like another generic mediocre found footage cash in. I recommend giving it a go.7/10
